Please feed the animals!

So much more fun than your typical zoo! The kids loved feeding the animals and we all got a kick out of seeing our new friends sticking their heads in our car windows. There were so many interesting animals to see and the park itself is quite scenic. We would recommend it for all ages.

Tips for Families

Pack your own cooler with food and drinks. Picnic tables are provided so you can get out of your car and take a break.

Kids loved it!

We have visited Fossil Rim several times, and the kids always enjoy it. It's a drive-thru wild animal park that allows visitors to feed the animals: several varieties of deer, zebras, giraffes, ostriches. There is a lunch spot half way through where you can grab a bite to eat, picnic with your own lunch, and visit the petting zoo.

Tips for Families

We let the kids ride in front with us as we drive through. Pace is slow enough that it's safe for them not to be buckled. Makes it easier to feed the animals together, control the windows as needed, control the food as needed.
